Bottle at the Big Texas Beer Fest. Poured a light reddish-brown with a white head. Taste of smoke, ash, rubber, and burnt malts. Medium carbonation medium body. WAY too smoked for the style. This wouldn’t even be a good smoked if it was in that style either.

Faint to non-existent aroma. Dark brown sugar color. Medium to light weight with typical carbonation. Flavors were light at best. You could tell it was a Scotch ale but the caramel sweetness was light as was the slightly burnt and woody character. Not terrible but didn’t stand out either.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with ruby hues and beige head. Aroma is very peaty with a hint of smoke. Flavor is a smokey, peaty bomb....as to this day, the strongest I have encountered with notes of toffee and malt in the back ground, has some sweetness. Medium body with medium-high carbonation. Overall, I really dig this beer!

Bottle from Errl. Thanks! Pretty mahogany brown. Peaty smoke dominates nose. Astringent peat, honey, malt. Interesting, much smoker than I expected. Different but not great representation of the style.

Dark brown pour with an off-white head. The aroma is full of peat malt with a hint of dark fruit and a lot of toffee. The flavor is fairly similar. There is some cherry and grape notes as well as some peat, smoke and toffee. Woody tasting. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
